Bringing You, Expertise & Experience!
Rick Palumbo, owner of Marin Volvo-Saab, brings customers over 30 years expertise and experience repairing Saab and Volvo vehicles. Rick truly enjoys his work and doesn't mind taking the time to explain the inner workings of customer's cars. Many customers have been getting their car serviced at Marin Volvo-Saab for years. At Marin Volvo Saab, you can expect same-day service for most service repairs. Because we specialize in Volvo and Saab, we own all factory manuals. Most repair shops that repair many brands of cars do not, which keeps Marin Volvo Saab a step ahead of the rest!
